At least two security officials killed near Iran’s critical Chabahar port

At least two Iranian security personnel have been killed in separate incidents along the country’s eastern border with Pakistan, adding to a string of attacks near the critical Chabahar port over the past few weeks. An officer commanding a women’s unit in Iran’s Basij paramilitary force – part of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IGRC) – has been shot and killed outside her home in the Mehrestan district of Sistan-Baluchestan province on Wednesday, according to Tasnim news agency. Another officer was killed in a separate attack on a police vehicle, also in Mehrestan, which lies close to Iran’s border with Pakistan.
